Subject: [NNagain] cloud gaming on a comeback?
This does a pretty good job of summarizing the benefits, and issues,
behind making gaming a for-pay at the isp service, among other things.
[RR] As I recall, there has been some
discussion, largely philosophical, about gaming in this thread which is
interesting to keep in mind.

In the case of LTE/5G if they could merely deliver a solid home gaming
experience, it would be a win... and they still can´t.
[RR] We
can debate whether a “solid gaming experience” is a win (and for whomJ), however that’s for another day. LTE/5G is nothing more
than hype as far as capacity claims are concerned. That’s precisely why
carriers “give it away for free”! When my connection on my phone slows to a
crawl, universally it’s because my phone has autonomously switched to one of
the “super fantastic 5G links”. Little children used to play a game called “BS”;
they still may. I think you know what’s coming next! JJJ
